Facebook is recruiting adventurous fanbois willing to become alpha testers for the next version of its Android client.
The social network warns that the process "is not for the faint hearted" as features will be altered "several times a week" and the app's stability will be deliberately rocked during tests, but it's the ideal …

Yes I'm a Facebook user, although every time they remove another bit of privacy or another actually useful feature I find myself one step closer to leaving.

What amazes me about Facebook is that they have consistently had one of the worst Android apps that I've seen. With every version it just seemed to become more and more unstable, slow, and generally useless for anything that you would want to do with Facebook.

At the same time they want it to be ever more closely integrated into the larger Android ecosystem, with access to more or less everything that Google has control of.
